Living Statues - The Apathy and Lack of Expression of Today's World

This World is full of Crappy people. Full of complacent souls who dont give a damn about their own kith and kin let alone other people.
Can we call them humans?
I would give an outright NO in decorated capital letters for that question and i have my reasons to support that.
What signifies a Human?
Why has God given us this live??
Okay lets look at it in this way... Why are we called Humans? Why are we considered so called Higher Beings? Its because of our ability to express, our gift to give and receive love, our ability to feel....Cry for sadness , Smile for Happiness , Empathise with our fellow beings, the ability to choose what is right and what is wrong.
But today, people are just living statues. They hardly let out their ugly smiles, rarely appreciate good work , thank nobody, blame every other soul in this world (including poor GOD) than themselves for their rotting misery which doesnt exist in the practical world but in their tired minds.
And people in the name of conservative nature or something ,are too shy to express love, even to their dear ones. But ask them to show anger... they will be up and ready for it as if they are born only for that. But mere words arent expressions of love. Love is expressed in flesh and blood. Now please dont take this in the literal sense and act silly...like cutting up ur wrists and writing
L O V E in blood(which will eventually fade away. U are just gonna lose a fair bit of ur precious blood and ur dad's money if u do that, nothing else.
What am trying to say is that there should be desperation in love. By desperation am not asking u to act rash. Let us take up this scenario. Imagine ur dear one has left u forever. At that time you would get berserk and start regretting how much you had wished to tell her/ him, how much you were waiting to share with him/her , or something u wished you could have told him. Show that kind of desperation when ur dear one is alive and near with u. True love should always have this urgency or desperation and believe me ur love would never fade away.

Let us come to this issue. I think personally that being good does not have a value atleast people dont openly appreciate. To be bad, mean and showing loads of attitude is considered as something cool , something which we have borrowed from our American Counterparts( we Indians are masters in picking up the wrong things from the western world).
And lack of belief on our fellow beings is another reason for this.
When we truly praise somebody, it is considered as Flattery , or the person who we praise thinks we are doing it for vested intentions.
People are are so scared of each other, hardly look at each others eyes and speak and hardly utter honest opinions.
Either they keep silent like Dumb idiots or utter rehearsed lines like unpaid actors ,which are nevertheless laced with lie and deceit. The former is a better option if u ask me.
And there is a rigidity in people's hearts. They are more rigid than AMMAN TRY MURUKKU KAMBI!!! They hardly express themselves unless they are tortured like in medieval days.
Its difficult to evoke laughter or make them shed a tear. They arent living their lives i would say, they are just going through the motions waiting for death to consume them, with fear and uncertainity. Death is better option than living a life like that.

And there are the egoists, the most ugly of them all, who find their huge egos severely dented if they were to praise or appreciate somebody. They want the world to rejoice them and their conquests but wont let a breath out if u were to ask something good about someone else in this planet.
What to do about them?
As always in the case of unanswerable questions , Lets Leave it to God!

My point is that there are so many good things happening in this world, so many things to shoot up our optimism, so many natural beauties that the LORD has bestowed upon us. Why did HE have to do that? It is for us Humans to rejoice, appreciate and live responsibly with that.
The world hasnt changed at all. It is we humans, in the pursuit money, careers and the ultimate manic rush to succeed wherever we put our step have changed.
Iam not against people working hard towards building their lives and careers. But in that all consuming journey , they musnt forget to stop a moment, look at the world around them, introspect and realise the preciousness of the little beauties of our beautiful world, which give meaning and happiness to life. We are not in a race, a war or something. Where are we running towards? What is the meaning of God's creation? Why are we given these lives? Every human should halt and introspect these questions.
Living our lives is something but realising the meaning of our lives is something more important.
So
let us a smile a lot more than we do now
let us appreciate each and everybody for their good deeds
let us appreciate the nature
let us express our love

Because life is much more than a mad pursuit towards materealistic goals.

PS : I certainly have to apologise to all the statues around the world for comparing them with inexpressive human beings becos statues are artistic and express certa
inly a lot more .
